Organic Spectroscopy II Ed.

Thorough coverage – supplements all major texts Overview of critical concepts, facts and definitions Clear explanations of all the principle concepts in organic chemistry Vast number of solved problems Ample number of illustrations to facilitate the understanding and rapid assimilation Study tool to a wide range of readers (undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as the professionals)
Though the format evolved in the first edition remains intact, relevant new additions have been inserted at appropriate places in various chapters of the book. Also included are a number of sample and study problems at the end of each chapter to illustrate the approach to problem solving that involve translations of sets of spectra into chemical structures. Written primarily to stimulate the interest of students in spectroscopy and make them aware of the latest developments in this field, this book begins with a general introduction to electromagnetic radiation and molecular spectroscopy. In addition to the usual topics on IR, UV, NMR and Mass spectrometry, it includes substantial material on the currently useful techniques such as FT-IR, FT-NMR 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR, GC/MS, FAB/MS, Tendem and Negative Ion Mass Spectrometry for students engaged in advanced studies. Finally it gives a detailed account on Optical Rotatory Dispersion (ORD) and Circular Dichroism (CD).
